What this site is all about.
Yesterday I came across two websites that should be of interest to Villalobos-type people.
One of them is the Villalobos Family Genealogy Forum, in which people whose last name is Villalobos post questions regarding their family roots, whether from Spain, Puerto Rico, the Philippine Islands or elsewhere.
From what I found at this site, though, most of the questions go unanswered, which is a shame.
It seems there should be a better way (or a better place) for people to indicate that they are looking for other family members. I saw many people posting their informatiion and asking for someone to contact them, but there were very few responses.
There really should be a better way. Maybe someday there will be. Any ideas?
The other site I found is the Villalobos section (Chapter 24) of the Castile and Leon Nobility page (it's a very l-o-n-g page). It is part of the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy (http://fmg.ac/) website.
The Villalobos section is near the bottom of this lengthy page, but proved to be quite interesting. It was good to discover that, if nothing else, the name Villalobos goes back at least eight hundred years. Maybe More.
The earliest Villalobos listed was don Rodrigo Gil de Villalobos, son of don Gil Manrique Señor de Manzanedo & his wife doña Teresa Fernández. He was born about 1289.
...Well, I look forward to hearing from anyone named Villalobos, or Villa-Lovos, etc., who happens to stumble across this site.
